For sufficiently small, the Calabi-Yau metrics on can be constructed by gluing the Tian-Yau metrics on and , together with an approximately Calabi-Yau metric on a transition region. We normalize so that
, and we denote by the renormalized measure of . Then the following holds as (see Figure 1.2):
(1)
Under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, the spaces collapse to the unit interval with a singular renormalized limit measure, that is,
(1.2)
where is a unit interval with the standard metric and

for some constant .

There is a continuous surjective map with the following properties:
(a)
(Almost distance preserving) For all ,
(1.5)
(b)
(Regular fiber) For each , the fiber is an -fiber bundle with the first Chern class
(1.6)
(c)
(Singular fiber and deepest bubble) The fiber is a singular -fibration over with vanishing circles along . Suitable rescalings around the vanishing circles on converge to the Riemann product , where
is the Taub-NUT space.
(d)
(End bubble) Suitable rescalings around the ends and converge to the complete Tian-Yau metrics and on and respectively.
